The forward assist that ships on most AR-15s is small, slick, and awkward to press with gloves on. Strike Industries fixed that with the Extended Forward Assist, giving you a larger, textured surface that's genuinely easier to reach and push when you need to seat a round. The L-shaped button sticks out just enough to grab quick, while keeping a low-profile, no-snag shape that won't catch on gear or a case.
The button is machined from lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, so you get all the ergonomic upside without adding meaningful weight to your upper. Behind that button, the pawl is made from tool steel, which is the part doing the real work of grabbing the ratchets on your bolt carrier. That combination keeps things light where it can be and tough where it matters, so it holds up over a long service life of positive engagement.
This one drops into standard mil-spec AR-15 uppers, and it also works with AR-10 DPMS-pattern receivers, so it covers a wide range of builds. It shows up pre-assembled with an enhanced spring and pin, which keeps installation straightforward whether you're finishing a fresh upper or swapping out a worn or boring factory part. Folks who've installed it tend to mention how quick the swap goes and how much nicer the extended, textured design feels compared to the standard button.
Beyond the function, the anodized blue finish is a clean way to add a little personality to an otherwise gray or black upper. It's a small part that makes a noticeable visual difference, and it pairs well with other accented components if you're building a matched look. Good upgrade for anyone who wants their forward assist to work better and stand out a bit while doing it.
Yes, it's built to drop into standard mil-spec AR-15 uppers. It also works with AR-10 DPMS-pattern receivers, so it fits a broad range of builds. If your upper takes a normal forward assist, this one will swap right in.
The main difference is the larger L-shaped button with an aggressive texture, which makes it much easier to press, especially with gloves or wet hands. It still keeps a low-profile, no-snag shape so it won't catch on gear. You get better ergonomics without a real weight penalty since the button is 6061-T6 aluminum.
Not at all. It comes pre-assembled with the spring and pin, so it goes in like a standard forward assist. Most people find it a quick job with basic tools, and it's a common first-time upgrade for anyone building or refreshing an upper.
It's a nice anodized blue that adds a clean accent to a build. Keep in mind that anodizing can shift slightly from batch to batch, so shades may vary a touch if you're trying to perfectly match other blue components. Most builders find it pairs well as an accent piece.
